Understanding VPS Hosting: Self-Managed vs Fully Managed

Capnis offers self-managed, partially managed, and fully managed VPS options. The right choice depends on how much server administration your team wants to handle.

Self-managed VPS

You receive root access and full control. You handle OS updates, security patches, and software installation. Capnis manages the physical host, network, and hypervisor.

Partially managed VPS

Capnis handles OS installation, monitoring, and infrastructure support. You manage applications and optional control panels.

Fully managed VPS

Ideal for businesses without a dedicated sysadmin. Includes proactive patching, security updates, and server-level support so you can focus on your product.
